Cameras

3D gifs made from old photos

by

Joshua Heineman has some great animated GIF’s that are taken from old photos that were taken with cameras that had two lenses. The original effect was to be used with a special viewer that allowed the person viewing the images to see them with a special viewer which had one for each eye. This gave the photos a 3D feel to them and were very effective. Josh’s solution is simple but effective. The two images are placed into a two frame GIF and played over and over repeatedly. They look a bit jerky at first the effect is clearly visible.

Summer solstice moon

I messed with my digital cameras settings and took about 20 pictures tonight from my deck.  These two are probably the best.  This was about 9:15 tonight.  (You can click to enlarge them a little.)
